Iran reportedly seeking to create alternatives to Google, Gmail

Published September 30, 2012

Associated Press

TEHRAN ? ?An Iranian official says Tehran plans to create its own search engine and e-mail service to replace Google and its Gmail e-mail service, even as it weights lifting a ban on Gmail enacted in response to an anti-Islam film.

Sunday reports by Iranian newspapers including the independent Aftab daily quote Deputy Telecommunications Minister Ali Hakim Javadi as saying he hoped to launch the Fakhr search engine and Fajr e-mail in the near future.

Hakim Javadi said authorities are discussing lifting the ban on Gmail imposed by an Iranian court in response to the posting of the film on YouTube, which is owned by Google.

Google's search engine service is still available.

Tehran has long promised to launch its own "clean" and "national" version of the Internet to curb Western influence.

NHL, locked-out players resume bargaining

NEW YORK (AP) ? The NHL and the players' association seemingly had a good day on Friday as they returned to the negotiating table.

It just wasn't good enough to bring the sides all that much closer to the end of the lockout that threatens the start of the hockey regular season.

The league and the union got back to bargaining for the first time since players were locked out on Sept. 16, and the sides discussed secondary issues without broaching the big economic divide that really is the essence of the dispute.

"It was a good day," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said Friday night after the second negotiating session of the day. "I wish we had spent today on what we consider to be the more meaningful issues, but it is what it is."

The sides were together for a total of about five hours ? including a private meeting between Commissioner Gary Bettman and union head Donald Fehr.

A handful of players also took part in the talks.

The groups agreed on issues related to player safety and drug testing, areas that weren't expected to be contentious. They will get back together on Saturday morning, and plan to meet on Sunday, too, but the topics of discussion still don't seem to include the big dollar issues.

"I don't know if I would say significant, but we did seem to make some progress on a number of things. Hopefully we will continue," NHL Players' Association special counsel Steve Fehr said. "There is no plan right now to discuss core economic issues."

And that is where the frustration lies. The NHL is waiting for the players' association to make a counterproposal to one the league made to the union in the previous bargaining session more than two weeks ago.

"We can't make them talk about what they don't want to talk about," Daly said. "In fairness, we do have to cover these issues if we're going to reach an agreement. What we're doing today is important, it's just not the most important things we can be doing.

"We've made at least two consecutive moves in significant dollars in their direction, and they haven't moved a single dollar in our direction since Aug. 4."

Former player Mathieu Schneider, now an NHLPA special assistant to the executive director, said Friday morning that there were agreements on more rigorous drug testing, expanding it to parts of the year during which testing is not currently done.

Neither side sees the use of performance-enhancing drugs as a problem in the NHL.

"We're in agreement that it's not an issue in our sport," Schneider said. "I think it's in the players' best interest as well as the sport to close off any possible time during the year where players could use."

Other topics on tap for Friday and through the weekend are various health and safety issues, time players spend at training facilities, and other non-economic topics.

"We like to say that nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to, but we've certainly made some headway," Schneider said. "A lot of it was done previous to this morning. We're taking notes of where we stand. I would say that we have a lot of mutual ground that we have found agreement on."

It is not impossible that monetary issues will come up for discussion in this round of talks, they just aren't scheduled. Neither side has indicated it is prepared to make a new offer now regarding how to split up the more than $3 billion annual pot of hockey-related revenue.

"In general, when you're dealing with collective bargaining, when you start to have agreements on smaller issues, it can lead to bigger issues," Schneider said, "but it's still too early to say."

These are the first talks since the lockout was put in place on Sept. 16 and they came a day after the league canceled the remaining preseason games. The regular season is to start Oct. 11.

If a deal isn't reached soon, regular-season games will be in danger of being lost. The NHL canceled the entire 2004-05 season because of a lockout that eventually led to the collective bargaining agreement that expired this month.

"The calendar continues to tick along," Daly said. "My guess is as time goes on, regular-season games are at risk. I don't think it can be any more urgent than where we are now. We've had that level of urgency for a long time. In some respects you can meet all you want, but if there is no compromise or no movement or no new proposals I am not sure at the end of the day what you're meeting over.

"There is a very high degree of urgency certainly on our side. I can't speak for their side, but I am sure they would tell you there is a degree of urgency there, too."

Steve Fehr contended that the players' association is willing to discuss any issues at any time to try to make a deal soon.

"We can discuss the core issues whenever they want to do it," he said. "Bargaining is not ping pong. There are no rules on who has to serve.

"I don't want to use the adjective optimistic, but it was a productive discussion. We had a good session and hopefully it will continue and build momentum."

Auburn Football Prepares For Battle Of Unbeatens

AUBURN, Mass. ? With the Auburn football team coming off one of its sloppier wins this season, head coach Jeff Cormier is hoping the team can improve in several areas this week.

But Cormier said it will be tough as his team goes up against the undefeated Millbury squad in Saturday?s battle of unbeatens.

?That?s a very sound football team. You don?t get to 3-0 without being pretty good, and we know that they?re better than pretty good,? Cormier said. ?They?re very well coached, and their fullback [Ross Sudar] is real good. He?s a heck of a football player.

?Their line play is good,? Cormier continued. ?Defensively, they always fly to the football and are very physical. They got guys over there who can play. They?re very physical and athletic, and it will be a tough test for us this weekend.?

The game is at 3 p.m. Saturday at Millbury High School. It was originally scheduled for Friday night, but mosquito concerns caused the switch to Saturday afternoon.

Last week, Auburn fended off St. Peter-Marian, 34-22, in Auburn?s closest game of the year. In the fourth quarter, Auburn was ahead by only six points after some costly turnovers and penalties. But Auburn pulled it together in the end, improving to 3-0 on the season.

Cormier hopes the squad can fix the turnovers and penalties in the Millbury game this week.

?We just have to settle down and make better decisions,? Cormier said. ?We didn?t make good decisions the other day. We got to play with more maturity than we did. We need to get focused, dialed in and play better mentally.?

Millbury has outcored its opponents 76-24 so far this season. Auburn has outscored its foes 97-28.

After Auburn?s game on Saturday, the squad will return home at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, against Shepherd Hill Regional High School.

Robots to keep farmed fish fit and healthy?

10 hrs.

John Roach

The fish we eat for dinner may soon be fit and healthy, not because they spend their lives swimming out in the open ocean, but because a robot of sorts gave them a daily workout in an aquaculture pen.

Fish farms are far from perfect. Some research has shown, for example, that?sea lice from salmon farms are detrimental to migrating wild salmon. And inside the farm, mortality can creep up to around?20 percent due to illness and wounds.?

But as the world?s?wild fish populations continue to plummet?and?human populations continue to increase, aquaculture is likely to play an increasingly important role in feeding the world.

The robotic technology is getting a closer look as one way to improve the industry.

?Exercise in fishes -- as in humans! -- should have a positive effect? on their well-being,?Claudio Rossi?at the Center for Automation and Robotics at the Polytechnical University of Madrid, told NBC News in an email.

Fish that get a daily workout, for example, will have less fat and stronger immune systems as well as be less aggressive.

?Fish would die less because of illness or wounds caused by other fishes, which is an economic advantage,? Rossi said.

He and colleagues contributed a chapter to ?Swimming Physiology of Fish,? a recently published policy book to guide future research on fisheries science and aquaculture.

Their basic idea is to ?devise a system ? that would trigger the natural behavior of schooling, and that could make fish swim in a given way,? Rossi said.

Such a system could be a fish-like robot, such as one under development by Maurizio Porfiri at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University to?steer fish away from pollution and around dams.?

Another possibility is something akin to the?OptoSwim lighting?technology?that stimulates schooling behavior in fish.

Developing the most effective system is a challenge, Rossi noted, given the need for reliability and endurance in a wet environment as well as understanding fish behavior.

?It is not completely clear which are the factors that would ?fool? live fishes and make them behave in a determined way,? he noted.

Alright guys, I have a good idea of how to do some real time writing with each other for action scenes, and dialogue. But first I need to know, how do you do it now? Jxlucky and Ayuta, are you friends in RL, and that's how you made the conversation? or is there a specific program/utility on Roleplaygateway that you could do it in real time? because I need to know. lol.

Just use pm it works great, you can edit and correct events together while still making it suprising and interesting for everyone involved. Though if you wanna make the fights randomize you guys can make some character sheets and just roll based on what people's weaknesses and advantages are.

Researchers discover what vampire squids eat: It's not what you think

ScienceDaily (Sep. 26, 2012) ? About 100 years ago, marine biologists hauled the first vampire squid up from the depths of the sea. Since that time, perhaps a dozen scientific papers have been published on this mysterious animal, but no one has been able to figure out exactly what it eats. A new paper by MBARI Postdoctoral Fellow Henk-Jan Hoving and Senior Scientist Bruce Robison shows for the first time that, unlike its relatives the octopuses and squids, which eat live prey, the vampire squid uses two thread-like filaments to capture bits of organic debris that sink down from the ocean surface into the deep sea.

It's easy to imagine the vampire squid as a nightmarish predator. It lurks in the eternal midnight of the deep sea, has a dark red body, huge blue eyes, and a cloak-like web that stretches between its eight arms. When threatened, it turns inside out, exposing rows of wicked-looking "cirri." Even its scientific name, Vampyroteuthis infernalis, means "vampire squid from hell."

In reality, the vampire squid is a soft-bodied, passive creature, about the size, shape, and color of a football. A "living fossil," it inhabits the deep waters of all the world's ocean basins at depths where there is almost no oxygen, but also relatively few predators.

A few previous researchers have caught vampire squids in nets, hauled them up to the surface, and tried to figure out what they ate by examining the contents of their stomachs. The results were generally inconclusive. The stomachs typically contained bits and pieces of tiny, shrimp-like animals, microscopic algae, and lots of slimy goo.

In a recent article in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, Hoving and Robison show that vampire squids eat mostly "marine snow" -- a mixture of dead bodies, poop, and snot. The dead bodies are the remains of microscopic algae and animals that live in the waters farther up in the ocean, but sink down into the depths after they die. The poop consists of fecal pellets from small, shrimp-like animals such as copepods or krill. The snot is mostly debris from gelatinous animals called larvaceans, which filter and consume marine snow using mucus nets.

In addition to looking at the stomach-contents of vampire squids from museum collections, the researchers used MBARI's remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to collect live vampire squids and study their feeding habits in the laboratory. They also examined high-definition videos of vampire squids taken by MBARI's ROVs. Finally, they examined vampire squid arms and feeding filaments under optical and scanning electron microscopes.

One key to Hoving and Robison's discovery was that they used MBARI's ROVs to collect living vampire squids, and were able to keep them alive in the laboratory for months at a time. Hoving soon found that if he placed bits and pieces of microscopic animals into a tank with a vampire squid, the food particles would stick to one of the string-like filaments that the animal sometimes extends outward from its body. The vampire squid would then draw the filament through its arms, removing the particles from the filament and enveloping them in mucus. Finally, the squid would transfer the glob of mucus and particles to its mouth and consume it.

Using MBARI's video annotation and reference system (VARS), Hoving also identified every MBARI ROV dive over the last 25 years during which researchers had seen a vampire squid. He then pored over 170 of these video clips (over 23 hours of footage) to look for additional clues as to what and how the animals ate.

The videos showed that vampire squids often drift motionless in the water, extending one of their thin filaments -- up to eight times as long as the animal's body -- like a fishing line. In many cases, Hoving saw bits of marine snow sticking to the filament. He also saw vampire squids slowly pulling in their filaments and scraping off the accumulated marine snow using their arms. Other vampire squids had globs of marine snow and mucus dangling from their mouths.

Under the microscope, the researchers observed that the vampire squid's suckers were covered with cells that produce mucus, which the animal apparently uses to collect and glue together individual particles of marine snow. Their filaments are covered with tiny hairs and a dense net of sensory nerves, which makes them extremely sensitive to touch.

When looking at vampire squids' stomach contents, the researchers did not see bones or pieces of individual animals that would indicate the vampire squids had captured live prey. Instead, they saw mostly amorphous bits of broken-up organic debris. The only prey they saw that might have been eaten alive were the remains of tiny crustaceans that sometimes "hitchhike" on sinking mucus nets or clumps of the marine snow.

After considering all the evidence, Hoving and Robison conclude that, "the vampire squid's filament is likely a multifunctional organ that is deployed to detect and capture detrital matter but at the same time may detect the presence of predators and perhaps small living prey."

The organic detritus that forms the bulk of the vampire squid's diet would not seem to be particularly nutritious. However vampire squids complement their frugal diet with an extremely energy-efficient lifestyle and unique adaptations. Their bodies are neutrally buoyant, so they don't have to expend energy to stay at a particular depth. Even better, they don't have to swim to find food, but simply extend their filaments to collect food that drifts past them.

Finally, vampire squids don't have to expend much energy avoiding predators, because they live at depths where there is so little oxygen that few other animals can survive. Conveniently, these deep, low-oxygen zones are often found where there is an abundance of life near the sea surface, which in turn creates lots of marine snow for vampire squids to eat. Hoving explains, "Because of its unique adaptations, the vampire squid is able to permanently and successfully inhabit the center of the oxygen minimum zone, an otherwise hostile environment where the vampire squid's predators are few, and its food is abundant."

Even though Hoving and Robison's research shows that the vampire squid is a "detritivore" rather than an active predator, its sinister appearance and stealthy habits will no doubt continue to fascinate both researchers and the general public.

This research was sponsored by grants from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? Richard Mourdock became one of the tea party's biggest winners of the 2012 primary season when he knocked off veteran Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar in a brutal campaign built on his contention that Lugar was too old, too out of touch and too friendly with Democrats ? a RINO, Republican in name only.

But the movement's biggest RINO hunter is now changing his tune as he tries to woo moderate voters in a tight race that stands as a key test of the tea party's ability to win outside the nation's most conservative states.

Mourdock is matched in the general election against moderate Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly, who is running even in recent polls despite Indiana's Republican tilt. Suddenly, gone is the strident rhetoric in which Mourdock proclaimed that bipartisanship meant Democrats coming over to Republicans' thinking and that winning meant he would "inflict my opinion on someone else." In its place are support for parts of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, pledges to protect Democratic-championed programs like Social Security and Medicare, and even the once-shunned notion of compromise.

Welcome to "Extreme Makeover: Mourdock Edition."

Mourdock's awkward stagger to the center may be a necessary move if the Republicans are to hold a seat that had been a safe bet since Lugar first won it in 1976. The outcome will help determine whether the GOP manages to win control of the Senate, where Democrats now have a narrow four-seat advantage.

Advertising spending from both sides has topped $6 million so far and promises to explode in the final weeks. The candidates and outside groups have already surpassed the $5.6 million spent in Indiana's 2010 Senate battle.

The tea party has won Senate seats in South Carolina, Utah, Kentucky and Florida, but only one so far ? in Wisconsin ? in the more politically diverse Midwest. Mourdock and Texas Republican Ted Cruz represent the ultraconservative movement's best chance for increasing its clout in this election.

Rather than rally true believers, Mourdock is working now to tie himself closely to the state's popular governor, Mitch Daniels, who is a conventional business-executive Republican rather than a party insurgent, while tying Donnelly to Obama, who is expected to lose Indiana in November.

But the image change is a stretch for the 60-year-old former coal company executive, known for his fascination with motorcycles and race cars and for his puritanical criticism of Republicans he considers not conservative enough.

Mourdock, who ran unsuccessfully for Congress three times before becoming state treasurer, won tea party acclaim for an outspoken role in the fight against the auto bailout, for his criticism of Republicans who voted for Obama's Supreme Court appointments and for calling Lugar's relationship with Obama a "bromance." While reliably conservative, Lugar sought common ground with Democrats on foreign policy issues, a stance Mourdock exploited in the primary.

Mourdock now argues he was never just a "tea partyer," but rather a regular Republican with conservative values.

"I've had a traditional base of Republicans out there," Mourdock insisted in an interview. "Are we going to have all those Lugar Republicans coming over? Some have been slower to join us. But, you know, we're getting there."

Speaking with The Associated Press in an extensive interview Thursday, Mourdock said he represents a new bipartisanship, shared by other Republican candidates like Nebraska's Deb Fischer and Ohio's Josh Mandel. The old style of bipartisanship, practiced by Lugar and other Republicans working with congressional Democrats, placed the United States at the edge of the cliff, he said.

"Democrats would say, 'Let's spend $100 billion we don't have.' Republicans would say 'Oh, no. Let's spend $50 billion we don't have,' and the compromise was, 'Let's spend $75 billion we don't have," he said. "There are a lot of Republicans and a lot of Democrats who have worked together towards that end, and that's where we have reached that point that I think we have to take another path."

Indiana's shift to the right in recent years would seem to benefit Mourdock. The state has defunded Planned Parenthood, approved a right-to-work law that bars employers from requiring union membership and created one of the nation's broadest school voucher programs.

But Indiana voters have a penchant for split tickets and many are more accustomed to the buttoned-down Midwestern style of Republicanism evinced by the reserved Lugar, the former mayor of Indianapolis, and Daniels, a former corporate executive, than that of the brash Mourdock.

Polls indicate many voters were offended by Mourdock's slashing attacks on Lugar, even those who thought it was time for the 80-year-old senator to retire. In a statement, Lugar fed those doubts by saying Mourdock's hard-line approach is "not conducive to problem solving" and would be a ticket to failure as a lawmaker.

When the general election campaign revved up last month, a new Mourdock emerged with a milder message, bonding himself to Daniels and to well-known Republican surrogates such as Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman and Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn.

The transformation has left some Republicans shaking their heads.

"The night of the election he was singing the tea party's praises ? 'I couldn't have gotten elected without the tea party!' ? and then the clock turned midnight and he's a mainstream Republican," said Mike Murphy, an Indiana Republican strategist and former state representative.

Lugar supporter Anne Emison Wishard said Mourdock's change seems mostly cosmetic.

"I smell panic," said Wishard.

But Joe McKinney, a 59-year-old education professor at Ball State University who voted for Lugar, said the mainstream endorsements have made a favorable impression. They are "more moderate Republicans who seem interested in the issues I'm interested in," he said.

Donnelly says Mourdock's recent appearance at a tea party event in Texas with commentator Glenn Beck showed his true stripes and undercut his "ability to come back and talk to Hoosiers in the middle." Several prominent Lugar supporters have raised money or hosted meetings for Donnelly.

But Monica Boyer, co-founder of the tea party umbrella group Hoosiers for a Conservative Senate, said Mourdock's different messages don't worry her.

As for Donnelly, she said, "He could campaign with Mother Teresa and he would still have 'Obamacare' stamped on his forehead."

iCloud.com Using Google Maps - Business Insider

Despite Apple dropping Google Maps in iOS 6, iCloud.com is still using its mapping data to track down missing iPhones, iPads and laptops.

Buster Heine from Cult Of Mac discovered this via Reddit and we confirmed that iCloud.com does indeed still rely on Google Maps.

The Find My iPhone app doesn't use Google Maps, but rather data from TomTom and its other partners. Still, both maps correctly locate our test device.

University of Leicester launches its new Centre for Landscape and Climate Research

University of Leicester scientists are set to launch a new centre which aims to predict the effects climate change and land use change will have on landscapes.

The Centre for Landscape and Climate Research will measure the effects of climate change on ecosystems around the world as well as assessing the impacts of severe droughts and flooding.

The centre, based at the University of Leicester, will be opened with a launch event on September 28 featuring talks from representatives of the space company Astrium GeoInformation, the European Environment Agency, Plymouth Marine Lab, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Joint Nature Conservancy Committee, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Food and Environment Research Agency.

The centre will use satellite data to study water cycle changes around the world. They will have access to data from up to 30 years ago, and hope to be able to forecast water conditions up to 70 years in the future.

The researchers hope to research both global trends and local issues, and aim to provide recommendations to policy-makers including local authorities and the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Professor Heiko Balzter, the centre director, from the University's Department of Geography, said: "In this research centre I hope to provide a research focus that brings together physical scientists, geologists, climate scientists, ecologists, hydrologists, social scientists, computer scientists and mathematicians. The problem we are studying is very complex, and needs experts from a wide range of disciplines to understand it.

"How rainfall, soil moisture and water resources change in space and time is a highly fascinating subject. I am very excited about the opportunity to conduct research in this field."

Dr Virginia Nicols-Perea, Research Manager for the centre, said: "Researching the water cycle is very important because it affects our way of life.

"There have been a lot of problems with droughts and flooding recently. This summer has been one of the wettest ever, and last winter was one of the driest winters ever.

"We have noticed a gap in research on the water cycle, and wanted to have the opportunity to use the satellite data to monitor climate effects not just here in Leicester but everywhere in the world."

The launch will feature a talk from Professor Sir Robert Burgess, the University's Vice-Chancellor. It will also feature a poster session where young researchers present their results. The best poster will be awarded a prize.

###

The event will be held at Lecture Theatre 1, Bennett Building, University of Leicester, on September 28 from 10am to 4pm. To book a place, please contact Dr Virginia Nicols-Perea (Tel. 0116 223 1018; email vnp2@le.ac.uk).

Notes:

For more information, please contact Dr Virginia Nicols-Perea on 0116 223 1018 or at vnp2@le.ac.uk.

The research centre gratefully acknowledges financial support by the Royal Society, the European Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Environment Agency (EEA), the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Tipitina&#39;s Foundation Presents The 1st Annual ?Rhythm and Blues ...

A Benefit to Renovate & Preserve the Family Home of Professor Longhair

When: Saturday, September 29, 2012
Where: At Tipitina?s Uptown, 501 Napoleon Ave., New Orleans
Time: 5K Race begins at 5:00 p.m. with a post-race party afterwards
Doors Open at 8 p.m. and benefit concert will begin at 8:30 p.m.

The Tipitina?s Foundation, in partnership with the New Orleans Track Club, is proud to announce the 1st Annual ?Rhythm & Blues 5k Run? on Saturday, September 29 at 5:00 p.m. Participants will take off from Tipitina?s (corner of Napoleon and Tchoupitoulas) and will run to the beat of New Orleans high school marching bands playing instruments donated by Tipitina?s Foundation along the route, and end the event with food and refreshments at a post-race party on the neutral ground in front of Tipitina?s. Costumes of famous musicians and musical groups are encouraged and awards will be given for the best costumes. Proceeds from the 5K Run will go toward providing New Orleans area high school marching band programs with uniforms, particularly the standard shoes that are required to march. Links for registration and more information will be available at www.runNOTC.org <http://www.runNOTC.org> <http://www.runNOTC.org> .

With generous support from The United Way and Project Homecoming, the Tipitina?s Foundation is also hosting a benefit concert after the race. 100% of the proceeds will go towards renovating and preserving the family home of Professor Longhair on Terpsichore Street in New Orleans. There are plans in place to accommodate the daughter and grandson, who is also a musician, of Professor Longhair on the property. In conjunction with the wishes of the family, there may also be a portion of the existing structure to be renovated and, eventually, open as a Museum dedicated to the artist?s memory.

Tipitina?s was originally founded by a group of music enthusiasts called ?The Fabulous Fo-teen,? as a place for their friend and New Orleans piano player Professor Longhair to perform. The venue is named after one of his songs, ?Tipitina,? and between the bust statue of the artist at the entrance of the building and the large mural above the stage, the club pays homage, in loving memory of ?Fess?, as he was called by his friends. ?There are very few people and places that are as inextricably linked as Professor Longhair and Tipitina?s ? spiritually, artistically, emotionally, and historically ? and we just felt like it would be a missed golden opportunity not to preserve his home,? says Tipitina?s owner and Tipitina?s Foundation co-founder Mary von Kurnatowski.

The bands will play a variety of Professor Longhair songs, as well as other New Orleans style classic hits. George Porter, Jr. will act as musical director and coordinator of the house band for the night, the Tipitina?s All-Stars. Very special guests include Dr. John, Ellis Marsalis, Ed Volker and more. The T.I.P. Interns (a Tipitina?s Foundation funded program), led by Donald Harrison, Jr., will open the show. General Admission Tickets are $35 and VIP Tickets are $80. Tickets are available at www.tipitinas.com <http://www.tipitinas.com> <http://www.tipitinas.com/> and more information on the Fess House Renovation project is available at www.tipitinasfoundation.org <http://www.tipitinasfoundation.org> <http://www.tipitinasfoundation.org/> .

MintLife Blog | Personal Finance News & Advice | Celebrate Invest ...

Do you want to invest better? Who doesn?t? Today, September 25, is Invest Better Day, a day of investor education dreamed up by the jester-hatted money mavens at the Motley Fool.

Any conversation about investments tends to get bogged down by excruciating details, jargon, and ideology. ?My portfolio is outperforming your portfolio? is the petty grownup version of ?my dad can beat up your dad.?

Fortunately, most of what it takes to invest better has nothing to do with choosing the right mutual fund. I?ve put together my top five investment tips, and only one of them involves choosing the right kind of fund (and it?s plenty vague).

This is good news and bad: choosing a mutual fund is easy. You can do it online in five minutes. But investing better is more about managing human psychology and less about managing money ? it?s also about avoiding big mistakes, not about choosing the single best investment.

Enough backstory. Let?s get to the list.?

What?s the most important factor that determines how much money you?ll retire with?

It?s not which investments you choose ? it?s how much you?ve saved along the way. A recent study by Putnam Investments confirmed this, and the math is simple: save pennies, and no amount of great stock-picking will let you retire with a boat.

Save a high percentage of your salary (especially in your highest-earning years), and you can make plenty of investment mistakes and still come out okay.

Avoid high-interest debt

As Burton Malkiel and Charles Ellis put it in my favorite investing book, Elements of Investing, ?There are few, if any, absolute rules in saving and investing, but here?s ours: never, never, never take on credit card debt.?

Credit cards, installment loans, lines of credit, unsubsidized student loans: all of these are the opposite of investing. When you invest, you turn your money over to someone else and hope they?ll do something smart with it and hand back more money later.

When you borrow at a high rate, someone else is doing the same with you, minus the ?smart? part. Other than getting a 401(k) match, it doesn?t make sense to save for retirement while carrying an 18% credit card balance.?

Everyone is so tired of being told to get a 401(k) match that I?m not even putting it on the list. Fewer people, however, understand the massive tax savings you get from using tax-advantaged accounts like the 401(k), traditional or Roth IRA, health savings account, or 529 college savings plan.

Every time you put a dollar in one of these accounts, it?s like getting a match from Uncle Sam. Unless you?re saving for a specific near-term goal or an emergency fund, saving in a taxable account while you still have space available in a tax-advantaged account means paying unnecessary taxes. Yuck.

Automate

How do you achieve the high savings rate from tip #1? Only one way: automation. Unless you?re self-employed, your federal taxes come out of your paycheck automatically.

Why does the IRS require you to pay taxes this way? Because if people were required to set aside taxes on their own and pay once a year, most of us would spend it before April.

Indeed, the self-employed get into this mess all the time.

Take advantage of what the IRS knows and automate your own savings as much as possible: set up automatic paycheck deduction or an automatic checking account transfer (or both) to your retirement account.?

Pay less, get more?

Mutual funds charge you a fee for investing your money, but the fee is invisible: it comes out of your returns before you ever see it. The fee is called an ?expense ratio? and it?s expressed as a percentage, usually between 0.1% and 2%.

If a fund charges 1%, that means you pay 1% of whatever money you have in the fund every year. That sounds like a small fee but it?s not. The world?s biggest and most diversified mutual funds and ETFs charge less than 2%. Low expenses are an excellent predictor of better returns.?

This goes for your 401(k), too. In addition to the expense ratio for each fund, your 401(k) may pile on other management expenses.

New rules this year require 401(k)s to disclose all fees. Read your statement, and if you?re paying more than a small fraction of 1%, call your benefits office, team up with your fellow employees, make protest signs ? whatever you need to do. It?s your money.

So there you are: five ways to invest better, and none of them involve picking stocks, reading annual reports, or any other form of nerding out.
